Strategy for Baking.....
Light Brown Sugar: If you don't have light brown sugar, substitute 1 cup granulated sugar plus 1 tablespoon molasses.
Buttermilk: To replace 1 cup buttermilk, place 1 tablespoon vinegar or lemon juice in a cup and stir in enough milk to equal 1 cup. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken.
Baking Powder: Substitute 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar.
Unsweetened Chocolate: To replace 1 ounce melted chocolate, combine 3 tablespoons cocoa powder and 1 tablespoon tasteless oil, shortening, or butter.
Vanilla Extract: Use the same amount of brandy or an appropriately flavored liqueur.
And remember: Spreads cannot replace butter, margarine, or shortening one for one. Spreads contain less fat and more water, altering the way they interact with the rest of the ingredients.
